First things first, openSUSE Tumbleweed is now powered by the latest Linux 4.11 kernel series, specifically version 4.11.0, which upgraded users from Linux kernel 4.10.13. The team is aware of the fact that Linux kernel 4.11.1 is already available with better support for Nvidia graphics drivers, and will implement it soon. Only three snapshots were released for the openSUSE Tumbleweed operating system series this week, but they brought a lot of goodies that GNOME and KDE fans most probably expected for some time now. These included the KDE Applications 17.04.0 software suite and GNOME Games 3.24.1 video games library manager.
